Date women from United States / Arizona / Flagstaff, 43 year old

Date a soulmate from Arizona, United States. I am 43 and the mother of an eight year old daughter. I love being outside, camping, animals, fossil-hunting, art, the Southwest and Flagstaff. I enjoy swimming, spending time in the woods and deserts, reading and cooking. Some of my favorite movies are: The Other guys, The Royal Tanenbaums, The Life Aquaitic, Darjeeling Limited, Stepbrothers, Out of Africa and McCabe and Mrs. Miller. My favorite color is yellow. I enjoy gardening. Some of my interests include archaeology, geology, botany and entymology. I enjoy laughing so am looking for someone with a sense of humor and someone who is kind. I think manners are important. I am not sure if internet dating is for me, but I will give it a try. I feel awkward initiating the first communication. Also, you can't tell in the photo that I have long hair.

Meet someone special from Arizona, United States. Hi there!
I am moving back to Flagstaff in August 2012 - yay for me!
Looking for fun, active, outdoorsy men to hang out with as friends first and maybe more eventually.
I have to say I am not interested in "serial daters". That is to say I am not interested in people who want 1 date and then move on to the next girl. Please be genuinely interested in getting to know me as a person, and I will do the same. Not interested in "one and done" dating.
I'm a great combination of outdoor/sporty chick and cosmopolitan girlie-girl. I'm equally at home tearing it up on my mountain bike as I am sipping a martini and having a pedi spa day.
I am a pretty laid back kind of girl, and I get along with most people fairly well. I'm attractive (so I've been told), thoughtful and honest, and I have a great quirky sense of humor! I'm also open minded, spontaneous and like to try new things.
I'm very much into outdoor activities such as hiking, mtn. biking, yoga, snowboarding, kayaking, and water sports, horses... so it would be nice to have someone that shares some of those similar interests. I also love relaxing with a book or dvd and a glass of wine at home. I'm always up for fun.
It would be really nice to have someone special to spend time with and see where things go. It would be great to find someone who appreciates spontaneity. I'd like to be able to just take off for a long weekend in California with little notice. Sound fun?
By the way I'm not into drama. I do all I can to avoid it. I'm really a T-shirt jeans type of girl for the most part, but I do like to dress up on occasion. I have a job that I enjoy, wonderful friends and family, and an active lifestyle...now I just need someone to share it with! I look forward to getting to know you! Cheers!
